MOMables Review: Meal Plan for Kid’s Lunches {Giveaway}

Posted on September 4, 2014

Since Adrian was a baby I dreamt of making him awesome school lunches, especially the bento ones, they are great! But the reality is another one, I don’t really have the time to dedicate to making kid’s lunches like that and I’m too perfectionist about the designs (yes, the bentos are a design project for me!). But I was fine with just making him normal healthy lunches, well, with not such great ideas, I didn’t go outside of the idea of turkey/cheese sandwich or wrap. At least Adrian does eat veggies and everything but I was bored with the same old ideas.

But there is always a solution for everything and in this case, there is a menu plan for fresh school lunches called MOMables.

Momables was created by my genius amiga Laura Fuentes, she was having that same dilemma of “what to pack” and decided, here you go everybody menus for the whole week!

There is a classic menu and a free grain menu. I am trying the classic menu and I’m liking it very much, especially because there are lots of creative ideas that I would never think of. When I got the first menu I made 4 lunch boxes at once! Mainly because now Derek wants them too and I also make them for me when I want 🙂

The weekly menu comes in the email every Friday, it includes 5 recipes, one for each weekday, 3 of them are single lunch ideas and 2 are family size. I love that each recipe includes a photo, this is basic to kind of have the feel of it and know if you really like it and it also gives you side serving ideas. The membership costs $24 for 3 months or $79 for one year.

What I’ve done is that I include sides that Adrian likes the most like carrots, celery, bell peppers, and fruits. I really don’t know what’s going to happen when Maya needs a lunch box because she eats about 2 veggies only!

There are some recipes that he hasn’t liked and well, it’s a matter of trial and error, now I know which ones he likes best and I’m saving those in a recipe folder to repeat them when they are needed.

To pack the lunches I am using these containers with 3 compartments, they are great and convenient, they are called EasyLunchboxes, they have the containers plus the lunch bag cooler that fits them horizontally instead of vertical which is one of the things that always worried me with other bags.
